Again, the airplane, and city bus was "safe", fishing and walking the dog at the park was not.
According to who? I’ve been watching this whole thing since it began and nobody has actually said those things.
They’ve said that some parks needed to be closed briefly because they were attracting too many people, leading to overcrowding...but at exactly the same time (sometimes in the same sentence) they made it clear that the activities were safe if not done in an overcrowded way. They actively encouraged people to go walk their dogs in the parks, just not elbow to elbow.
And nobody has said that airplanes or busses are safe. They’ve said they are necessary, and that’s different. It’s like grocery stores...nobody has actually said they are safe, they’ve just acknowledged that people need to eat.
This tells you who was telling the truth and who was lying and still is lying to you all.
Well, you are the one claiming things were said that were not actually said...but I don’t know if that’s a lie or just being wrong.
The "deaths" are another great scam. How many of the deaths were nursing homes? Where the people lying to you now did nothing to help, rather they caused the problem? At this point it all but pointless to try to reach people who no longer want the truth. They will now make excuses for the lies they are being told. <shrug>
The numbers vary but between 40-60% (depending on area) of deaths are in nursing homes.
But that’s been in the dialog since the very beginning. The very first publicized deaths in the US were in nursing homes. And, again since the beginning, the public health position is that the risk of spread isn’t primarily for young healthy people, but for older and vulnerable people. That’s why you close schools, et cetera. It isn’t to keep the kids safe. It’s because those kids go visit gramma and gramma visits her friends at the senior center and suddenly you have a bunch of dead people.
That’s the whole point of doing a lockdown of everyone, it has been central to the messaging to 20-somethings, it has been part of the dialog for months: you may not be at high risk, but your parents, grandparents, teachers, neighbors, et cetera ARE, so you need to take precautions to keep from getting sick - not because getting sick will kill you - but because it will keep the virus going and lead to other people dying.
That’s one of the ironies of all of this: the Baby Boomers and other old people are the ones who have been bitching loudest about the lockdowns, but they are the ones society is trying to protect.
To say that some anonymous “they” “did nothing to help” when “they” tried to use techniques that have been effective around the world is just absurd. Most of the problem in the US is that the people, meaning you and people like you, get upset over the least inconvenience to yourself, regardless of the stakes for anyone else. “Going to a party might lead to an outbreak that causes people to die? Fuck’em they’re not me I don’t care.”
